The Weekend Cook ~ Creamy Cole Slaw

I  always make this in  the morning so there's plenty of time for the flavors to soak up before serving. 

Serves 8

½ small red onion, chopped (optional)

1 medium head of cabbage, shredded, or 1 (16 oz.) bag

cole slaw mix

2 small green peppers, diced

2 medium carrots, shredded

1 cup good-quality mayonnaise

2 tablespoons white vinegar

2 teaspoons sugar

½ teaspoons celery salt

¼ teaspoon celery seed

1⁄8 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper

2 tablespoons milk

Combine the first 4 ingredients in a large bowl. In a blender, mix the remaining ingredients and pour over the slaw. Mix thoroughly and chill.

After it is combined, if the cole slaw has too strong of a cabbage flavor, you can add more mayonnaise, one tablespoon at a time, until the desired flavor is achieved.
